Chapter 695: Chapter 282: Veteran Driver Su Xing, Out of Fuel? [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes]

The Spirit Realm, one of the numerous world instances near Blue Star.

Although Su Xing had never been there, he had quite a few dealings with it…

Because Luo Shuying came from the Spirit Realm!

“Wait… Luo Shuying’s surname is Luo!”

“One of the three major family clans of the Luo Tian Sect… Could Luo Shuying be a descendant left behind by the Luo clan after going to the Spirit Realm?”

Su Xing’s face took on a peculiar expression as he thought there was an increasing possibility of this.

Luo Shuying, and the abilities of the entire Spirit Race, were extremely unique!

Their power came from the mind… their physical bodies were also much stronger than ordinary transcendents!

This seemed somewhat similar to a highly specialized branch among cultivators… the Spirit Cultivators!

The so-called Spirit Cultivators did not practice arts or spiritual energy… they solely cultivated the divine sense realm!

Using the mind to shake the physical body, they obtained extraordinary power!

“So because of this… Luo Shuying and the Spirit Race have such a good absorption effect on Soul Condensing Pills?”

Su Xing narrowed his eyes, growing more certain that Luo Shuying perhaps had some connection with the descendants of the Luo Tian Sect.

And the Spirit Realm… very likely could be the former Yu Ling Realm!

“Looks like… during the next simulation, it’s necessary to personally investigate the Spirit Realm!”

Su Xing said softly, turning his gaze back to the simulation panel.

[After leaving the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, you went to the various shops in White Emperor City and purchased some Origin Martial Pills.]

[After spending seven million low-grade Spirit Stones, you obtained a hundred thousand top-grade Origin Martial Pills, with the remaining hundred thousand to be collected in ten years.]

[After purchasing the elixirs, you went to White Emperor City. After displaying your Human Immortal Realm cultivation, you became a second-grade elder of White Emperor City.]

[After spending some Spirit Stones, you obtained a top-grade blessed land as a cave residence.]

[Upon obtaining the cave residence, you carefully arranged a Xuan Yuan Concealment Array and set up several illusion arrays and prohibitions before starting your cultivation in peace…]

[You took out millions of drops of low-grade Spiritual Liquid and began your cultivation…]

[After reaching the Immortal Realm, cultivation became slower.]

[The spiritual liquid first needed to transform into Immortal Qi upon entering the body, then operate the cultivation technique to enhance your cultivation level.]

[If the mana of an Immortal was like a well, each intake of spiritual liquid was like a drop of water falling from the walls, continuously dripping until the well was filled, breaking through the cultivation realm…]

[Thus, ten years passed in the blink of an eye…]

[Over ten years, you spent millions of drops of low-grade Spiritual Liquid on cultivation. However, your mana had not even reached one-fifth of the first layer of the Human Immortal Realm…]

[Such cultivation speed left you very dissatisfied…]

In the real world, Su Xing saw this and frowned slightly.

“Ten years… even with the aid of spiritual liquid, the first layer’s progress is only one-fifth?”

Su Xing finally understood why advancing in Immortal cultivation was so slow, often requiring hundreds of years for a single breakthrough.

“My spiritual root is a mutated Heavenly Spirit Root… already inferior among the Human Immortal Realm…”

“Fortunately, with the help of the seventh-rank Minor Spirit Gathering Array and the Heavenly Thunder Physique, the efficacy is even better than a regular Super Spiritual Root… but even so, breaking through one layer in the Human Immortal Realm would take fifty years, or even longer!”

“And this speed… only gets slower the further you go!”

Su Xing sighed, the shortcomings of lackluster aptitude now becoming evident.

“For a regular cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root, even if they are fortunate enough to become an Immortal, it might take as long as one hundred fifty years to break through one layer!”

“And this speed is with sufficient spiritual liquid and Spirit Stone assistance… otherwise, even three to five hundred years wouldn’t be enough to break through one layer!”

Pausing, Su Xing continued down this train of thought.

“A regular immortal cultivator, upon reaching the Immortal Realm, might already be three to five thousand years old… even with proper maintenance, without life-extending elixirs, they could only live another five thousand years or so…”

“If they are a fierce and combative type, leaving hidden injuries behind… they might not even live for five thousand years…”

“This means that a cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root in the Human Immortal Realm could exhaust all their life span on cultivation and still not experience a breakthrough!”

Su Xing sighed lightly.

Cultivators fought incessantly for a reason.

The resources were limited… if one continuously remained detached from worldly affairs, they would ultimately end up expending their life span and turning into dust…

“However, this speed of cultivation is still too slow!”

“The improvement of the spiritual root relies entirely on luck… and my luck talent has no effect on the simulator…”

“As it stands now, I still need to quickly cultivate the Zhengyi Submission Decision!”

Such were Su Xing’s thoughts as he gazed at the simulation panel.

[After ten years of cultivation, feeling the slow progress, you left seclusion to retrieve the hundred thousand top-grade Origin Martial Pills you agreed to take at that time.]

[Afterward, you began looking for a way to find the whereabouts of a space artifact.]

[The Green Wood Realm is far from the Little Qingyun Realm, and even with adequate cultivation, you would need the aid of a spatial magic treasure to traverse worlds…]

[However, such spatial magic treasures are extremely rare. Despite multiple inquiries in the markets of White Emperor City, you could not find such a magic treasure.]

[After finding nothing, you temporarily gave up and returned to your cave residence to resume your secluded cultivation.]

[The slow progress of cultivation made you decide to prioritize comprehending the Zhengyi Submission Decision!]

Seeing this, Su Xing muttered:

“Use immersive simulation… duration: 30 days!”

[Ding, you successfully used the immersive simulation… remaining origin energy points: 24039…]

As the simulation prompt sound faded, Su Xing appeared in his cave residence.

“I need to make haste practicing the Zhengyi Submission Decision… otherwise, my cultivation speed in the future will become a substantial issue!”

Su Xing muttered.

The first layer of the Zhengyi Submission Decision, allowed Su Xing to cultivate for an hour each day, saving ninety percent of the time to practice other divine arts and techniques, undoubtedly a great help.

The second layer, aside from saving ninety percent of the time, also increased Su Xing’s cultivation speed to three times the original!
